Hey guys – not sure what this is but this white stuff keeps coming back even if I wash my slow cooker out with soap. It’s like it’s completely gone, and then seconds later it’ll come back? Do I need to be concerned? Can I still cook with this?

Following, mine does the same 🙁
It might be calcium deposits from either water or bone. Maybe try letting it soak in a solution of water and vinegar and see if that helps.
It’s just protein schmutz I think – I use barkeepers friend to get it off.
It’s fat and hard water deposits. You can use some vinegar or a scrub brush/sponge to get rid of it. The crock is coated in ceramic glaze and can handle most household cleaners to get rid of this.
It’s not harmful and can be gently scrubbed off. I suggest using liners.
Same. I used softsoap then rinsed it real well to make sure any grit was gone.
Bar Keepers Friend. I prefer the powder, myself.
I recommend Scotch-Brite/Generic green scour pads.

I use a [pumie scour stick](https://www.lowes.com/pd/Pumie-Scouring-Stick-Pumie-Gray-Pumice-5-3-4-x-3-4-x-1-1-4-12-per-Box/1002511884) it’s my secret weapon
Hard water deposits from soaking – may rub off with vinegar but dont scratch the finish from scrubbing.
It’s calcium. Try CLR remover
White vinegar fixes everything.
It’s fine, ok to use.
